Honestly, after hearing all the symptoms your having, I'm going to have to point a finger at leaky injectors. Take off the intakes and pull your injectors to get flow tested. Would make complete sense since you say it will start if left for a couple hours hot or cold, but wont if left for a few days.
Next time you try to start it, do this:
1. Pull out the spark plugs and clean them.
2. Crank over the motor with the plugs out to clear out the chambers
3. Install plugs and try to start
Don't add any ATF into the intake or use the gas while trying to start. If it starts without a problem, you have leaky injectors.

I think i have a faulty IACV cuz the idle is off only with the AC on. I got the car tuned today, we found out it has an exhaust leak causing the boost to creep up past the 10psi or so that the wastegate spring would open it at... i gotta replace it and take it back for final tuning and i should be good to go

yeah and then i crashed it ROFL so now i'm waiting to get it back from the shop! It was running ok i mean idle issues still kinda there between gears with the AC on it drops rly low but i adjusted it up a little so it wouldnt die between gears. I guess i'll suffer on the gas a bit until i can afford to get everything checked out later down the line.

Gas Mileage
Yeah. I can sympathize with the whole gas suffering. I just installed 1200 primaries and 2400 secondaries and a second fuel pump. The car idles fine although it is at a 10.5 or so AFR but it is steady and strong. I am getting about 10 mpg on the highway. My car goes through gas like crazy. Good thing it is not my daily driver. I've been adjusting back using the Apexi commander pro software but I have the settings at idle all the way down to 50 which is as low as it can go. I started playing with the lag time now trying to lower fuel delivery but I just started that. Haven't tried to drive the car since the last changes to the fuel map.
Good Luck with yours....
